Featured Woman ?‍?

Sam is an awesome human and a beautiful soul! She is currently in the process of getting her PhD in Air Sea Physics and creates amazing and super engaging content on the topic. I love learning more things more Sam, she always makes me discover something new!

Celebrations ??

Christina participated as a judge in a school’s STEM competition!

In her own words:

“I volunteer as a STEM professional at Hill End primary school in regional NSW. I recently helped judge their annual STEM competition. A number of remote regional primary schools were invited to send teams to participate in this competition. These remote schools are hundreds of kilometers apart, and some have only 15 children! The children had to complete 3 STEM-based challenges using creativity and teamwork. It was a fantastic day and a great initiative.”




It was a pleasure and privilege to be invited to be guest judge at Hill End's annual STEM competition. This school has just 13 kids and their principal is leading the way in improving the kids' engagement and interest not only in STEM, but in school altogether. | Teams from regional NSW schools in Glen Ines, Ulan, Lue, Wattle Flat, Hargraves, Ilford, and Hill End (my partner school) had to be creative and communicate to win challenges and take home the prize. | It was so inspiring and fun to watch their little minds thinking hard and coming up with all sorts of inventive ways to tackle the challenges. | Aaaand I also got to hang with their resident mummy and joey kangaroo, who hangs in their school garden for real! Check it out in stories today 💕 (also how cute is their old school bell?) #csiro #volunteeringisfun #volunteerlife #regionalnsw #stemkids #stemeducation #stemgirlsrock

Nashali got her first internship offer!

In her own words:

“After a very difficult couple of years with personal problems, I’m finally getting back on track with my studies and future career. It’s been a dream for years to obtain an opportunity where I can finally have a little taste of what’s it like to work as a computer engineer and now this is my chance. And now I was offered an internship opportunity in Texas with Verizon.”

Alison made the 2019 Bitch 50 list!

“The Bitch 50 highlights the firsts and the pioneers; the people who created a ripple or a path from the margins to the center.” – and Alison was recognized in the Science and Tech section next to Katie Bouman who discovered the Black Hole!! This is amazing, Alison, we are all so proud of you! Thank you for inspiring all of us to make our dreams a reality even if it means creating a completely new path for them.
